Good news F12/F13 M6 owners! The Gruppe M ram air style carbon intake as seen on the F10 M5 fits and is available officially for the new M6. Now, this intake is quite simply gorgeous as Gruppe M intakes for M vehicles always are but it certainly is not cheap at $3,495. It certainly is a high quality piece and offers gains of 16 crank horsepower at peak (with substantial torque gains through the curve) but whether it is worth the money is up to you. As of right now, this is the only quality intake option for the M5/M6.

Hm, I wonder what the bang for buck difference is here though:
$3400 for 15 hp = $227 per hp

$110000 for 1000 hp = $110 per hp

And the end product is probably negligable from a factory m6, where the UGR vs stock lambo is like comparing a galaxy to a singular solar system. It looks nice, but selling at $1500 would still probably provide quite the healthy profit.

I hear you, two different classes though.

Making a Gallrardo work as a daily is something different. Well, something I could pull off I think.

What do you guys think of scoops? Lot of people think not worth it, but that's probably because impossible to dyno any incremental ram air effect?

If you ask me, i say scoops give you the best bang for the buck in most platform, specially the E9x M3. Had them on my M3 and M6, got a nice bump in HP in both for a relatively cheap price. As you said, fans used when dynoing can't simulate the real world condition. But when you drive, you definitely feel the extra punch.

I've rode in a ugr car and it was very daily drivable (to me). It did drone like hell. But then again, my daily has a strait through 3.5" exhaust with one resonator, open wastegate, pss9 coilovers and a mix of solid and stiff urethane bushings throughout, so... take that as you will. lol.
